Narrative

On August 22, 2025, an employee was helping to move a 700-pound compressor cylinder cap head into position to slide down the bolt holes onto the bottom half of the cylinder. When a bolt hole aligned, his left index fingertip was caught in it. The cap came down and amputated the fingertip.
